Contributed by Deacon Paul Elder
Centering Prayer is a method of contemplative prayer in which we rest silently in the presence of God. It is a very simple method that is easy to learn. We may think of prayer as thoughts or feelings expressed in words, but this is not the only form of prayer.
In Matthew 6:6 Jesus says: “Whenever you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you.” Centering Prayer is a way of saying ‘Here I am.’ The next step is up to God. It is a way of putting yourself at God’s disposal; it is God who determines the consequences.
Please join us (virtually) every Friday at noon (sharp!) for thirty minutes of silent prayer led by Deacon Paul. To join the Centering Prayer meetings, click the link HERE or use the link found near the bottom of the church website home page.
